The field of drug discovery has always been a complex and time-consuming process. It involves identifying and testing potential drug candidates that can effectively treat a particular disease or condition. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, drug discovery is poised to undergo a major transformation.
Quantum computing is a relatively new field that deals with the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations. Unlike classical computers, which use bits to represent information, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits. These qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing quantum computers to perform calculations much faster than classical computers.
